Good Morning Saturday 29th August 2026

Good morning from Bristol. It’s still dark, but is also overcast. We are forecast rain today; it would be good if it were more than the four or five 2 minute showers we had yesterday.
The outside painting saga still goes on; it’s due to be finished next Friday, but there still is a huge amount to do and the painters haven’t appeared since the last week of July. And, I noticed that some (unprepared) painting was already peeling after about three weeks.
Church coffee to serve today; I made a date & walnut cake from a new recipe. The small piece I had, for quality control you understand, was delicious.
r&l, hoping you are still taking things easy, madeleine and md, may your afflictions have improved, ditto for the rest of sickbay.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🐦‍🔥🦩

Good morning from Shropshire.Another rainy day forecast.

We had a lovely but tiring day with the children yesterday.We were so tired that we went to bed when they did.

Today I am going to visit mum with DD and DGD.

Enjoy your day in Bath Mick.

I hope that madeleine and Marydoll had a better day yesterday.

Wishing you all a good day🦩🌻

Good morning, it’s dry and cool here in south Glos, we had a couple of heavy but brief showers yesterday, it’s supposed to be raining all day today. We’ll see!
Yesterday I went to the surgery to get and appointment for bloods. The letter requesting specific tests was very detailed and I did want to try explaining over the phone.
I popped into a friend’s house and had a coffee and chat, she’s having radiotherapy this week so just wanted to make sure she was okay.
I got two loads of washing dried before the showers, all put away too.
Several other chores completed and I felt very pleased with myself 😁
I spent the afternoon sorting through various threads, very therapeutic for me, and doing more crewel work.
Nothing planned for today, it’s supposed to be very wet all day, let’s hope so!
Wishing you all a lovely weekend x

Good morning from a really soggy Torbay following some hours of rain which is continuing to fall.. I hope it will spread to your respective necks of the woods, grandMattie and RosesandLilac but not Bath, which could spoil Mick’s trip!

Yesterday evening I went to a social evening at the theatre where it was good to spend time with friends not seen for a while, some of whom had attended performances of Yes, Prime Minister.

An indoor day catching up with chores is planned. I hope those struggling with ailments have a better day.

Good morning from dry and still South Lanarkshire.

Yesterday turned out to be a day medical and dental doings. I’d been experiencing breathlessness and odd pains for a couple of weeks and decided to get it checked. I rang the surgery at 8.30 am, got through on the 5th try and got an appointment for 9.10. The GP decided I needed a chest X-ray and blood tests and sent me off with a card for the X-ray department at our nearest hospital. I was seen within 15 minutes then went to the drop in clinic nearby to have my blood taken. So efficient, just have to wait for the results now. My dental appointment after lunch was just as efficient but sadly the tooth can’t be saved and will have to come out.

Last night’s planned hot air balloon flights didn’t happen due to the wind apparently. Even although conditions on the ground seemed pretty good the weather hundreds of feet up is a different story. I’m watching from my window now in hopes that the morning’s flights will go ahead. The Balloon Festival organisers put so much effort into this event, it’s sad when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from s somerset, heavy rain today

Oh well, I need to change my plan and not go galavanting outdoors today, there are better days for that

Dress toile is finished and is truly lovely, a beautiful fit on me so version 2 will appear in the future, no frill, long sleeves and in a lovely quality fabric. This one is a very nice fine poplin and a keeper

A mixed day yesterday, starting with a walk, sewing, potttering and finally I started to get the knitting mojo back. There was a sudden evening sale of fabric from my favourite bargain online deadstock shop so I spent money there, unexpected but so be it. Eg the photo dress cost me < £12, from a previous sale

It seems as though I will be home today, no fun going out in heavy rain but I will be happily occupied
